School of the Nations will square off with Tutorial High in a match that will decide the semi-finalists in the Georgetown Zone when play in the Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Academy continues at the Ministry of Education Ground, Carifesta Avenue tomorrow; the former team is on 12 points while the latter has accrued two points less.
Should School of the Nations manage even a draw, it will progress to 13 points and thus clinch a place in the semi finals. However, should Tutorial High win the match they will accrue 13 points to clinch the semi final berth.
New Campbellville Secondary finished the preliminary round on 10 points and is already through to the final. Charlestown Secondary finished on 5 points from 4 games and should Tutorial secure a win they will move on to 7 points and earn a place in the final.
Even a draw will stand them in good stead by dint of a healthier goal difference than Charlestown Secondary.
North Georgetown Secondary and Lodge will square off in a match of academic interest since the latter team is already through to the semi final. Though on 9 points, North Georgetown Secondary, can also consider the tournament lost since a win will only earn them an overall 12 points, insufficient to send them through.
Charlestown Secondary and Bishops High will play each other and a win for Charlestown will see them topping the group with 15 points. Should that team lose it will end just behind Christ Church who are also on 12 points but with a better goal difference.
Meanwhile Lodge Secondary School retained their unbeaten record, trouncing Tutorial High by 4-1 on Sunday May 26 last. Kevin Boters (2nd & 19th) and Ryan Hackett (16th & 55th) scored for the winners while Steve Sutton narrowed the margin of defeat for his team. The win has placed Lodge on top of the rankings with 15 points from 5 games in Group A.
Charlestown Secondary gained a walk over Chase Academic Foundation and leads the point standings in Group B with 12 points.
Two other games were contested on that day; Christ Church demolished Bishops High 4-nil with Andre Trotz (26th & 30th) making the difference with support from Andre Paul (28th) and Brad Evans (61st).
North Georgetown was also in winners’ row, swamping QC 5-1 after Joshua Farrier (29th), Osafa Matheson (39th), Lansdale George (45th) and Nehemia Gomes (50th & 57th) netted for the winners. Ashmar Angel 11th minute effort narrowed the margin of defeat for Queen’s College. .
The action continued in Linden at the Wisburg Secondary School Ground where New Silver City Sec School gained a walk over from Harmony Secondary moments before Mc Kenzie High defeated Christianburg Wismar Secondary 2-1.
